Bottle from the internet. It pours darkest brown with a frothy light tan head. The aroma is musty, funky, zingy, dried citrus, tangy red berry, sour cherry, fruit compote, sherbet, roasted malt and cacao. The taste is firmly dry, earthy roasted malt, touch of bitterness, spicy, dry oak, light tannin, cacao nibs, tobacco, coffee grounds, dried leafs and a touch of liquorice. Finish is dry and roasty. Interesting, plenty of depth. Aroma is standout.

375ml bottle from sophiesbeerstore.co.uk, shared with Eric and Sophie. Pours a misty yellow, large white head. Interesting, expected some kind of wild sourness but has a fresh herbal character, some mild sage, light mint perhaps, low carb, strong herbal linger, quite fresh and soothing overall. Decent.

375ml bottle, sophiesbeerstore.co.uk. Misty gold appearance, medium white head. Bretty almond with nutty spelt-like suggestions. Interesting, fresh, revealing wild layers. Liking Epochal output so far. A bit rough around the edges at first but seem to settle into a wild, breezy soft herbal feel.
